Befooled.. that was what i was last week. For all those that remember my blog about being stopped by the authorities for drinking driving not too long ago, well, i was befooled. I just learnt yesterday that we are allowed to have about 3 mugs of beer for the first drinking hour and about 1 mug hours thereafter. But what happens when you dont know all this? you get mugged by policeman at 3 in the morning. Darn! For you drinkers out there.. here’s what suppose to happen, the reading of the blower must show 80 and above for them to bring you to the station and on top of that, one of the police must drive you to the station. Then he has to write a report followed by bringing you to the hospital to blow in front of a bigger tester. Here, if your reading is above 80 which means u r not suppose to be on the road, they can charge you. And even if they do, you are allowed to set bail at RM 2000. No matter where the money comes from. Which means as long as someone can bring in the RM 2000, you cannot be kept in custody. However, dont try this nonsense on a Saturday night as Sunday is a holiday, which means you can only be bailed on monday. Don’t play play. Moreover, the fine is RM 1500 if you are caught drunk driving. so, RM 50 bribe is just a gimic.. if you really cant drive, and is above the limit of 80, then they will ask for more. I just blew into a baton that shows 2 lights. That’s how ignorant i was…

in 2006, Dr. Zainal Abidin from the Business Ethics Institute of Malaysia surveyed on people’s trust. and guess what, our fantastic law enforcers were almost the most untrusted by the surveyed lot. And yet, we choose to live our lives peacefully and allow this people to maintain the peace and harmony of our country. Truly Malaysian. My advice, if you have a person who has got into this position before, forward my blog add to them so that they can learn what i learnt yesterday… Fucked by the police.. that’s what i was… LEARN YOUR RIGHTS!
